This is a wonderful version incredible to have it on you tube. I agree with susannahmcdnld it is always so fresh I must have heard it 50 times and seen it once in London,great to have it on video. I agree subtitles would have been helpful for many, I do not speak German but know the plot so well I understand the action. Beethoven only wrote one opera and this one gave him terrible trouble he wrote four different overtures I think and was rewriting it all the time,but to me it is wonderful.

the four part canon (17 minutes in) is just the most beautiful in opera

This beautiful film dates not from 1970, but 1968.

Beautiful performance! That was also (1770-1970) the Beethoven Bicentennial Year. I first learned "Fidelio" that year also, but the version I was able to get (6th grade) was Gweneth Jones, James King, Theo Adam and Karl Bohm (Staatskapelle Dresden.) I would've gone bonkers had I been able to see a film of it!

@AlexanderKrenin Good point. Thanks

@fulishproductions - Indeed, subtitles would help getting into the story. The translated text can still be printed but you get distracted...

like witnessing a beautiful animal i do not understand
lovely, but foreign
Anyone wanting a great version on cd could do no worse than go for either the studio version or the live version with Klemperer and an amazing cast,from the 60's. Christa Ludwig quite amazing as Fidelio and Jon Vickers in one of his greatest parts.
